At my workplace, my laptop is little more than a glorified mailbox and
thin-client. All my development is done on a shared Linux cluster, due to the
nature of the build environment needing special compilers and tools. Up until
a few years ago, I was logging into a VNC session to keep my sessions active.
As I started to telework more, I was annoyed by the slow refresh rates. That’s
when I realized that, since all my work was done with console Vim and a console,
if I could move to a console interface, I’d wind up with a much faster workflow.
